Understanding PQC: Enhancing Cyber Defense with HSMs 🔐

In the latest episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, Bruno Couillard explains why this matters:

✅ HSMs don’t just generate keys for applications, they secure their own most sensitive keys inside
✅ Internal cryptography underpins firmware updates, attestation, and sibling-to-sibling communication
✅ If an HSM isn’t PQC-ready inside, it doesn’t matter what algorithms it “provides” on the outside

As Bruno warns: “An HSM is a provider of cryptography, but the HSM has to use internally its own cryptographic capabilities because think of it as a safety deposit box for some of the most sensitive keys.”

🎧 Listen to the full conversation and see why PQC-ready and PQC-providing are two very different things:
